It sort of happened all at once
Like a summer setting sun
I blinked and found myself twilight blue
Gotta stay awake to talk
Cuz you said that you would call
The only person who could calm my nerves is you

So I'll sing country standards
While waiting for the answers
To the questions and half questions in my mind
Do I want Conway or Tammy
The whole Hank Williams family
To be the last song I sang before you said goodbye

I guess that I am free
To do just what I please
But when did I choose to want the things I do
Wash the dishes in the sink
Or have another drink
Or to commit my angry heart to loving you

So I'll sing country standards
While waiting on the answers
To the questions and half questions in my mind
Do I want Emmy Lou or Johnny
Or both John Prine and Bonnie
The harmony will fade away in time

I put down the sad guitar
Now I'm sitting in the dark
Just covered in the dusk of everything
I almost don't believe it
Cuz I hate it and I need it
I hold my breath when I hear the phone begin to ring

You said sing your country standards
If you call then I won't answer
Forget my number name and favorite songs
Put on your country albums
Cuz you can't feel without em
I was just another lyric to you all along

So I sing country standards
And try to live without her
And lose myself in other women, all alone
And I hope that she could hear me
Try to sing out clearly
The last song before she tells me to come home
